Came to this hotel around Noon on a Thursday. I decided on this place because it was about a 10 minute walk from my boyfriend's house. I've also been here before for their hourly specials. You could ask for a room here for an hour and it's only $10 bucks. That's like super cheap. In my area you get the same deal but you have to buy at least 3 hours.
The Asian dude in the front office was hard to understand. I asked him how much for a room for the whole night. He said it was $45 dollars. In all honesty I thought it was too much. I imaged paying him $30. So I asked if he can go any lower. He said $40 but I can't have anyone spend the night. I was like that's fine.
Went to my room. It wasn't the flashiest. Basically a bed, a table with two chairs, a flat screen TV, and the bathroom. First thing I noticed is that I only had 1 blanket in the room. So I went back to the front desk and asked the Asian dude for another blanket. He told me there's one already in the room and if your still cold turn on the heater. So I went back to my room to find out the heater wasn't working. Well at least the TV. had basic cable so I watched TV. for a bit.
Left the room around 1pm came back to the room around 4pm with my boyfriend. I was stopped by the Asian guy. He was yelling out, "One, One" I told him he's not spending the night he's just going to chill in the room for a few hours. The dude seem to understand and went back. I think the dude owns the place and lives in one of the hotel rooms. So my boyfriend and I did our thing and I took him back home around 7p.m.
Getting back to my room it was actually getting kind of cold. You can hear those San Fernando winds blowing. I looked out the window but the view is not worth it. It was just of the airport across the street. My friend called so I started talking to him on the phone. I wasn't sure but I think someone was bagging against my wall to tell me to shut up or just people banging.
It was kind of fun looking out my window and seeing how every hour different people leave and come into the hotel. Feel asleep watching the Food Network. Woke up left my room around 8a.m. to do some errands. Came back around 9:30am to the Asian guy reminding me that check out time is at 11a.m. So I got back to my room showered, watched a little TV. and checked out.
Overall, I think this place is good. I mean it's hard to beat $10 bucks and hour. Also it's the only hotel on this street that I know has cable and flat screen TVs. Also I mean I paid $40 for a night at a hotel. My friends told me that's about average price. Only thing that messed up my stay was the Asian dude being like a "Big Brother" watching over me. He made my boyfriend uncomfortable when he told us I couldn't have any guest over. He even told me to pay the Asian dude the additional cost for having an additional person spend the night. I was like No, your not spending the night so there should be no additional cost.
I've been to two other hotels in the same street, so far this one is the cleanest looking one. I might try another one next time, if I do choose to stay in that area for any reason. read more
